Recently-run colleagues have struggled to share the idea of how to publish the IPA packages offered by their partners to the App Store.OverviewDue to Apple's mechanism, the installation of applications on a non-jailbreak machine must be done through the official App Store, developers can upload the App store after the app has been developed, and also need to pass the auditing process. As a development platform for a trans-mainstream platform, Appcan also supports the use of the IPA package to upload the App store. This article describes how to implement the Appcan online compilation of IPA packages from three processes and upload them to Apple's App store.I. Export of certificates 1.1.
